It's a fun game but if you're looking for a more serious tennis WII game, this isn't it. A lot of the features that appear when your characters are playing become too distracting.
I was expecting game much more like Sports - Tennis version but more intense.

Fun And Fresh

This is a really fun way to play video tennis game. A wide variety of characters to choose from, each with their own personality and tennis ability. The graphics are fantastic and look great on a wide screen HD TV. The "play control" takes a little getting use to, but if you use full motions for each of the strokes you want to use it's much easier than trying abbreviated movements. The "power shot" is a bit much, & I prefer playing the game with it turned off.
